Soy-Sautéed Vegetables with Indian Flavored Brown Rice
This vibrant, colorful bowl is a blend of two of the world’s most popular cuisines – Indian and Chinese. The dish contains classic Indian food items like brown rice and various common Indian veggies, tossed in Chinese seasonings. Soy-sautéed veggies retain their crunch, color, and nutrients because of quick stir-frying at high heat. The Indian flavored brown rice provides a fiber and protein-packed base. Low in calories and high in dietary fiber, the combination is not only healthy but also fulfilling.
